The non-Pro model has a 165Hz refresh rate with a 700-nits peak brightness while the Pro model only opts in for the standard 120Hz refresh rate with a 600-nits peak brightness. Albeit, both phones come with the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
Inside the two phones is the flagship 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, paired with up to 18GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and up to a whopping 1TB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The RAM can be expanded up to a total of 24GB with virtual expansion and runs on the latest Android 12 with Red Magic 5.0 out of the box.
In the camera department, the gaming duo comes equipped with a set of three cameras on the back that consists of a 64MP primary camera, alongside 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro sensors though there’s a slight difference when it comes on the front.
